AA simple gesture can be formed into a child's memory so quickly that it will cause the child to give a false answer to a question accompanied by that gesture.A new finding suggests that parents，social workers，psychologists and lawyers should be careful with their hands as well as their words.Gestures can be as informative as speech，but hand gestures are so common that we rarely notice when we're using them.While the recollection (回忆) of both adults and children is easy to react to suggestion，the memories of children are known to be particularly influenced，said lead researcher Sara Broaders of Northwestern University.Kids are used to looking to adults to tell events for them and can be misled even if not intentionally.Previous research，for example，has shown that detailed questions often cause false answers; when asked，say，“Did you drink juice at the picnic？” the child is likely to say “yes” even if no juice had been available.It's not that the child is lying on purpose.Rather，the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory.To avoid this problem，social workers have long been advised to ask children only open－ended questions，such as “What did you have at the picnic？” But an open－ended question paired with a gesture，briefly meaning a juice box，is treated like a detailed question.That is，children become likely to answer falsely.And it isn't just a few kids：77% of children gave at least one piece of false information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture.Gestures may also become more popular when talking with non－fluent language users，such as little kids，Broaders said，as hand movements can impart meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases.“It certainly seems reasonable that adults would gesture more with children.”In general，Broaders advises parents and other adults to “try to be aware of your hands when questioning a child about an event.Otherwise，you might be getting answers that don't reflect what actually happened.”语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。
